Test Taking Strategy for the 70-640- your thoughts?

Ok, I have a weird question about a strategy for taking the 70-640 exam. I will be writing it Monday afternoon at 1:00 and I was thinking about doing something different. You guys can tell me what you think, or share your experiences if you want. I was thinking about just going through all 50 questions answering all the easy ones, then going back and answering the harder ones. Do you think this strategy poses an advantage for the test taker, or should I just take the exam as normal? ...one at a time?

I normally go one at a time and never look back after making a decision on an answer. I just thought I would throw this out there while I was taking a break from studying.

Preeesh!

    I do this on every test if I'm 100% sure I answer and move if I have any doubt I mark it for review and move on to the next question because the answer to the question's that I'm not sure about might be answered in a later question. I would say on average I can knock out about 40 questions and have to review about 10 by that time my brain is warmed up and I have shaken off the nerves.

    That's how I take tests as well. If you are 100% sure on the ones you've marked already, you can see how many potential misses you have and know if you're going to pass at that point. This is a double edged sword of course...icon_wink.gif

    Good luck! My strategy to come back to the questions I have marked. If I have more time, I would skim through the rest.
